“

And that is how you do it, men! Click to listen — The Soldier teaching his team how to rocket jump

”

The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier. Similar in shape to the Rocket Launcher and color to the Sticky Jumper, it features an orange-and-white-painted exhaust with a triangular sign and a flared muzzle. As a training item, the Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets, allowing players to freely practice rocket jumping techniques. The ammo count for the weapon is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets to use. The user is still vulnerable to self-damage from fall damage. While in midair via a Rocket Jumper rocket jump, a "flying sound" will play, acknowledging the player's success. However, players equipped with this weapon are unable to carry the intelligence, the Australium briefcase in Special Delivery or the Jack in the PASS Time gamemode.
